Action Menu
The Action menu provides an easy way to perform common tasks such as formatting text, inserting links, adding images, and more. To open the context menu, simply hover over an item and right-click (ctrl+click on Mac). If you need to adjust multiple items, select the items and right-click over any of the selected items.
The following options are available in the Action menu:
Add below / Add above - Add a new item to the structure, below or above the currently selected item. See Adding Existing Work Items, Adding Flex Items, Creating new work items
Add sub-item - Add a new item to the structure as a sub-item of the currently selected item.
Move up / Move down - Move an item up or down within the structure, without changing the item's parent. If it is not possible to move an item up or down without changing its parent, the respective option will be grayed out. See Moving Items within Structure
Outdent / Indent - Unindent / Indent the item one level. If either or both of these moves are not possible, the option(s) will be grayed out. See Moving Items within Structure
Edit - Edit the currently selected item / stop editing and save changes. See Editing Work Items in Structure
Cut - Cut the selected item(s) to the clipboard. See Cut, Copy and Paste
Copy - Copy the selected item(s) to the clipboard. See Cut, Copy and Paste
Paste - Paste item(s) from the clipboard into the structure. See Cut, Copy and Paste
Remove from structure - Remove the currently selected item(s) from the structure. See Editing Work Items in Structure
Grayed-out Options
Some options in the Action menu may be grayed out, indicating that these actions are not currently possible. For example, you cannot use the Paste action unless you have items in your clipboard, so the option will remain light gray and not clickable until you add items to your clipboard.
Action Menu Applies to the Row, Not the Field
The action menu applies to the structure row, not individual fields or links within that row. In the example below, right-clicking anywhere in the highlighted row and selecting “Open in a new tab” will open the work item page for Green-19, even if you right-click over the link in the Parent column.
